The feeling in Raleigh is tha
the State Agricultural Department
will be eliminated of much of its
power by the present Legislature.
It may not be abolished as whole,
but the feeling is largely against a
continuance of the m anagement as
heretofore.
The present House of Represen-
tatives, as a whole, is said to be, in
point Of intelligence and general
appearance, far behind any House
for the past fifteen years. It is
wholly non-progressiye in policy,
and will spend its time principally
i i making political capital for the
! hen0eiics--1 and their allies in
1888.
Says the Wilson AdUa'lce: We see
with pleasure that there is strong
probability that Gen. w. r. Cox
will be made minister to Turkey.
He would maintain the dignity of
the nation-and that is about all
minister to foreign country has to
do--at the Turkish Court. The
proverbial luck" of the General
will hardly desert him at this late
day we hope.
The Fayetteville Observer Gazette throws
out the following suggestions for legisla-

with the crop lien law, preserve the
present system of county government,
pass an act providing for convict labor

toms mechanics lien law-do these
things, legislators, and we believe your
fellow citizens will rise up and call you
blessed"

Miss Van Zant has to thank the

she would Lave regretted all her life.
A unanimous newspaper protest
against her marriage with Spies, the
condemned anarchist, has prevailed
upon the Sheriff to put such obstac-

not take place except in spirit. The
young woman seems a fit subject for
writ de lanatico inqatirendo.
There is now being formed in New

The CAROLINA CENTRAL ROAD.

The CAROLINA CENTRAL ROAD
AS We announced, Col. Coleman
left yesterday to meet Mr.. Moncure
of the G. C. Road, with the purpose
of making a preliminary survey OF
the route between this city and
Rutherfordton. The work win likely
consume ten days or more, and at
the expiration of this time we viii
then-b in an attitude to talk busi-
ness with the authorities of the
road. Our people are fully alive to
the completion OF this connection
and no one need doubt their doing
the full measure OF their duty in
the matter.
We are glad to learn that the good
people along the line are much con-
cerned about the extension to Ashe-
vile, and that leading gentlemen at
Wilmington have pledged assist
anee, if it be needed, to have the
connection madr. Wilmington
should be much concerned and
would be justified in giving more
for extensi IN to Asheville than they
would in ssassisting the Cape Fear
& Yadkin, which they are very
properly assisting in material
way.
We will be Gble within the next
few days to give the views of The
engineers as to how the line looks.

promises to surpass any that has
ever been known before in this pop

Much interest is felt in the coun-
ty over the possible fate of the Pear
son Stock Law bill, which haa
passed the House and will be con-
sidered by the Senate committee on
Friday of this week. Should the
present law be defeated as a whole
it will work untold hardship on a
large number of farmers in the CEN

their fences and cut their bridges
down behind them.

THE STOCK Law QUESTION.

see from the proceedings in the Leg
islature that one of the members from
this county has introduced a bill, calling
for an election on the stock law or no.
fence question. Wouldit not be well for
the conservative and law abiding citi-
zens to speak out and let the members
of the Legislature know the true feel
ings of the people on this vital question
to them at this ltime, and save US from
another exciting election, for one, do
not believe that majority of the farm
eTs desire that an election should be
held; we all know that this question en-
tered into the last election to a certain
extent, but it must be admitted and is
well known that many votes were cast
for the anti stock law candidates that
were no-fence or stock law men. have
heard of many saying that they are now
in favor of the law.
8 There is one other issue in this case to
be made. We now have the law in
operation IN large portion of the eoun-
ty, and the farmers have taken their
fences from around their lands, and
many ofthem have hauled the rails off,
and sold them for wood, SO am inform
ed, and plany farms at this time have
not sufieient rail timber on their. land
to fence Il.
1'hir bill now before the Legislature,
to my view, was not presented in the in
terest Of the farmers, but in the interest
Of the man thae Prsa "a tn,z -, and. only to

the "stock-law."
But am candid to say that / do not
see how any one at the present time, and
has the good of his county at heart, can
enter any objection to the Law, when he
considers the hardship it would now
entail on many OF the farmers, by repeal
ing it. JUSTICE

The New York Star thinks that
the Senators should be elected by
the people.
A petition has been presented to
the West Virginia Legislature 'ask-
ing the passage off bill providing
for physiological temperance in
struction" in the public schools.
Humphrey Moore, a lately de-
ceased Baltimorean, made 100000
by dealing in second hand books.
He left it all for benevolent pur@
poses, the major portion being for
the establishment of an institution
for public discussions, entertain
mepts and other popular education
al gatherings.
A report prevailed in railroad cir
cles Friday that the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company would
extend it's line to Chattanooga,
Tenn. This, it was declared, had
been made necessary in order that
the company might secure through
business, as the traffic of the East
Tennessee Railroad having passed
into the hands of the Richmond
Terminal Company would diverted
to the Richmond and Danville Rail-
road.
Twenty States in which State
elections were seriously contested in
1886 show a ret Democratic plurali-
ty of AZ, ,138 votes. In 1884 the same
States gave a net plurality of 246,-
612 votes. This Democratic gain OF
nearly two hundred thousand is an
indication of the increased strength
ofthe Democratic party under the
administration of President Cleve-
land. We commend these figures to
the serious consolation of tho friends
of Mr.. Blaine.
The Philadelphia Record says :
"The New South is stirring, tapping
huge veins of coal and subterranean
lakes of petroleum in Texas, digging
for iron ore and coal in Mississippi,
building railroads in Georgia and
factories in Alabama, and urging
Tennessee to the development OF
her wonderful mineral reso lrces.
The American must work, and in
the fresh fields of labor offered be-
low mason and Dixon's line, he is
finding at present the richest re-
YARDS"
The New York Star says: Ac
cording to the gossip one hears, the
French ball on Monday night be-
came a scene OF drunkenness and
riot without precedent in the histo>
ry of the town. Allth fast women
of the place was there, and most OF
them cot as drunk as their opportu-
mites would permit.
One woman seated herself in a
tub of ice wafer and salt, which had
been used as a champagne cooler.
She was SO drunk that she could
not get up, Another woman had her
dress torn off in one of the boxes.
About twenty per cent were respec-
table, and that most of them left
before the orgy was at its height.
